ET Pack 1.4

pmme if you need help

It's ezy to extract from the .run file, in ETs case I think it went like this (from memory):
1) Download the installer .run

2) type on command line:

Quote

chmod et-installer-name-here.run a+x
sh ./et-installer-name-here.run --target ~/games/ET

3) As soon as you get the chance, answer "no" to some of the installer's question to abort the installation

4) Now there is a folder called games/ET in your home directory. Go there

5) When you're in the folder, there is a folder called bin inside it. Go to bin/Linux/x86

6) In this folder (~/games/ET/bin/Linux/x86 should be the full path if you did everything according to this guide) there are three files, et, etded.x86 and et.x86. Copy them all back to ~/games/ET (in the ET root directory).

7) When you have copied/moved them to the ET root directory, you can delete the bin folder and all it's contents.

8) To make the game work, you must edit the file called et (just et, not et.x86). Open it up with your text editor of choice and replace the contents with this:

Quote

#!/bin/sh
cd "/path/to/ET/root/folder"
./et.x86 $*
exit $?

Replace the second-first line with the path to your ET folder, e.g. /home/yourusername/games/ET if you followed everything according to this tutorial

9) You're done! Clean installation of ET in one (ok, two if you count ~/.etwolf) folder!

To create a shortcut to your desktop (if you use one!), just copy the et file there and rename it as you like. Or you could create a symlink to it:

Quote

ln -s /path/to/ET/et

PS: If you play many patches (ie. 2.55 and 2.60b), just make two installations of ET, unless you're really tight on diskspace. If you don't want to waste any HDD space, make two folders containing the patch files and just patch and unpatch when you want to "switch".

Well, I only need et + etpro. I dont need jaymod + zillion other crapstuff. I rather have a rar file and extract it to some random folder, put in my config and start playing.

Besides, there were enough journal post about ppl using ultimate installer but had problems cause the guy who made it didn't cvar reset and kept some commands which made his version not work on some computers.
